Biography

James Hillier Blount (born 22 February 1974 Tidworth, Wiltshire, England), better known by his stage name James Blunt, is an English singer-songwriter and former army officer, whose debut album, Back to Bedlam and single releases, including "You're Beautiful" and "Goodbye My Lover", brought him to fame in 2005. His repertoire can be best described as a mix of acoustic-tinged pop, rock and folk. After recording on the independent American label Custard Records, Blunt won two Brit Awards, two MTV Video Music Awards, two Ivor Novello Awards, and by 2006 was nominated for five Grammy Awards. The following year, he released his second album All the Lost Souls (2007). Blunt's third studio album, Some Kind of Trouble, was released in November 2010. Worldwide, Blunt has sold over 18 million albums, and his debut album, Back to Bedlam, is the best-selling album of the 2000s in the UK. Blunt was an officer in the Life Guards, a cavalry regiment of the British Army, and served under NATO in Kosovo during the conflict there in 1999. While posted to Kosovo, Blunt was introduced to the work of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF or "Doctors Without Borders"). Since then, Blunt has supported MSF by holding meet-and-greet auctions at many of his concerts.

LYRICS

Darling I know we talked about it one too many times
How there was something missing in our lives
A little life
So we tried, it was more than just a twinkle in your eye
But some things you just don't get to decide
At least we tried
The first casualty of life is the plan
When I look back I'm not even sure that
We were thinking

Somewhere
She's probably dancing with her blonde hair
Falling like ribbons on her shoulders
Just likе we always saw
Bright eyes
Spinning in circlеs in the sunlight
Darling, we tried but now it's over
We had it all and then we lost
The girl that never was

If I could say a million words to take away the pain
What kills me is you trying to take the blame
You're not to blame
I'll never say I told you so
But sad I've thought the words
Tried drowning you in happiness
I only make it worse
We never should have picked a name
Cause now she has a face
And now no matter what we do
No one will take her place

Somewhere
She's probably dancing with her blonde hair
Falling like ribbons on her shoulders
Just like we always saw
Bright eyes
Spinning in circles in the sunlight
Darling, we tried but now it's over
We had it all and then we lost
The girl that never was

I know we'll never know you
I know we'll never hold you
I never got to show you my love

'Cause somewhere
You're probably dancing with your blonde hair
Falling like ribbons on your shoulders
Just like we always saw
Bright eyes
Spinning in circles in the sunlight
Darling, we tried but now it's over
We had it all and then we lost
The girl that never was
